Bubbles

The Bubble collection unfolds as an installation of ceramic objects that inhabit the threshold between the domestic and the symbolic. Its kitsch aesthetic—dominated by bright pink tones and polished surfaces—conceals a deeper tension: the need to create a refuge in an environment I perceive as hostile. The pieces—cups, plates, teapots—refer to the everyday act of gathering around a table, transforming that moment into a poetic gesture and a form of intimate resistance.

The project begins with a paradox: what appears superficial, decorative, or naïve can contain a more profound truth. Sweetness, for me, is not an escape but a quiet stronghold. In Bubble, tenderness becomes a form of defense—a mask that shields what is vulnerable. The glossy glaze, the tactile softness, and the pink palette act as signs of a subversive gentleness, one that chooses to reveal itself and endure. I work with glazed stoneware with a glossy finish, seeking surfaces that catch and reflect light as if the object were breathing. Each piece, hand-shaped and hand-glazed, retains traces of gesture and subtle variations that disrupt the homogeneity of the whole. The table functions as the axis of the installation: both stage and shared territory. Its arrangement generates a system of relations, a silent choreography in which the viewer takes on an active role, invited to engage in the everyday ritual of looking, sharing, and pausing.

Bubble does not speak of isolation, but of containment. The bubble is not an escape; it is its own ecosystem, a small world where attention and listening become possible. In times of noise and saturation, inhabiting that bubble becomes a poetic act: sustaining vulnerability as a space of meaning, and creating beauty as a form of care.
